14 HUGE MCU Announcements From Disney's D23 Expo
9. When The UK SHOULD Get Disney+
According to a tweet by Star Wars UK, The Mandalorian will not be released on these shores until "early 2020" - while that won't exactly upset anyone in the territories who get it in November with the launch of Disney+ (lots of them, just not the UK, apparently) - it is not a good look.
This suggests that Disney+ won't be launching in the UK until early 2020 at the earliest, which is a great way for Disney to encourage absolutely every Star Wars fan out there to pirate the new show and every Marvel project that launches with the platform. That ISN'T any of the new shows, mercifully, but it's still a big chunk of Marvel content.
Presumably, there's some bureaucracy behind the decision, or else it's just a massive mistake.
